Step 3: Prepare the Mix-Ins
While the potatoes are cooling, chop your hard-boiled eggs, celery, and red onion.
These ingredients add texture, color, and a fresh crunch to the creamy base.
Step 4: Make the Dressing
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Taste and adjust — the goal is a tangy, creamy dressing that complements the potatoes without overpowering them.
Step 5: Combine Everything
Gently fold the cooked potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, onion, and pickle relish into the dressing.
Be careful not to mash the potatoes — you want each cube to stay intact for a hearty, satisfying texture.
Step 6: Chill and Marinate
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight if possible).
Chilling lets the flavors meld together, making every bite rich and flavorful.
Step 7: Serve and Garnish
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for color.
Serve chilled at picnics, cookouts, or family gatherings — it’s creamy, tangy, and guaranteed to be a crowd favorite!
